Explanation:

Conjunctions are words that connect clauses, phrases, or words. They show relationships such as addition, contrast, cause and effect, or choice.

But: Used for contrast.

Or: Used for alternatives or choices.

This approach ensures clarity and correctness in identifying and using conjunctions.
